Behind the simplicity of the new RADIOMIR 1940 with GMT function lie details of Great sophistication and elegant solutions which reveal the technical virtuosity of the officine Panerai Manufacture at NEUCHÂTEL. The appearance of the Radiomir 1940 is of exemplary simplicity. Yet every detail reveals the complexity of the design, which aims to maximise the characteristics of reliability, robustness, ease of reading and visibility in the dark which have distinguished Panerai watches since their first appearance, on the wrists of the commandos of the Italian Navy in the 1930s. The new Radiomir 1940 3 Days GMT Oro Rosso (PAM00570) is Officine Panerai’s latest Special Edition, of which only 300 units are produced: it combines an apparent simplicity derived from its military origins with the in diameter, is sophisticated details and finish of contemporary high quality sports watchmaking.

The cushion case, 47 mm made entirely of 5nPt red gold, an alloy with a higher percentage of copper than usual and a small amount of platinum which helps to minimise the oxidation of the case. The back of the case is open to reveal the admirable finish of the movement. This is the P.3001/10 calibre, hand wound with a power reserve of three days, with an indicator of the remaining reserve on the back.
